Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Wilderness Survival

"Auntie, I know you care about me.

I can take care of little sister Xiao Nuan, don’t worry."

This child, she really tugs on the heartstrings.

"Jingjing, I didn’t mean that, you’re also aware of the situation at home.

We will take care of you later on."

"Thank you, Auntie, I will be good."

Goodness, this child, it’s as if she truly grew up overnight.

Jiang Yuan sighed, the world was such that she had no other choice.

With neither father nor mother, this child’s future was bound to be tough.

Under these circumstances, she couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

All she could hope was for this child to live a few more years—she really had no idea how long she would live herself!

Jingjing didn’t sit down, but dragged over the firewood Qin Yue and Fan Qing had gathered.

On the other side, several men had also returned.

They had collected quite a number of tree trunks, but it was unclear what they intended to do with them.

"Dad, what are you guys doing?"

"Yuanyuan, I’ve got an idea. We should build a few sleds.

It’s not convenient to go anywhere under these circumstances, and if we have these, we can help with hauling stuff."

Jiang Xingzhi shared his thoughts, and everyone agreed it was a good idea.

"Uncle, if we’re going to stay on the mountain, the paths aren’t easy to navigate.

Don’t make the sleds too big, it would be troublesome otherwise."

"Qingqing, don’t worry about that, we’ve already discussed it.

We’ll make small ones now, but they’ll each have hooks.

If we need a bigger sled, we can just link them together at any time."

This idea was Song Yi’s, and Jiang Xingzhi agreed to it almost instantly.

Such a sharp mind really made it no wonder that people said it was a young person’s world.

"That’s a good idea, at night, we can also rest on them!"

The ground was so cold, even with blankets spread over, it wasn’t working out.

Song Yi looked at her and continued, "We also plan to make some small shelters, they’ll provide protection against wind and rain."

Shelters?

"So, you’re planning on settling down here for the long term, huh?"

Jiang Yuan asked half-jokingly, and Zhang Kaiyang immediately continued the conversation.

"Yes, Sister Yuan, Brother Song said, since we’ve decided to stay here, we’ll live each day thoroughly.

At the very least, we need to make it a bit more comfortable for you ladies!"

"Well then, you guys will have to show your worth, we’re looking forward to it."

Jiang Yuan smiled sweetly, her eyes curving into crescents.

Song Yi, seeing her smile, also felt genuinely happy.

It seemed that ever since they met, there was always something going on.

They never had a moment of leisure; now, despite the unknown risks, they could finally enjoy a brief respite.

They set to work immediately, but first, they needed to cooperate with Jiang Xingzhi to make the sleds.

The ones they had back in Lushan Garden, Jiang Yuan had put in storage, and bringing them out now, in such a bold fashion, wasn’t appropriate.

Zhang Kaiyang and Fan Qing were still there, and since they had time, they might as well get on with it.

It wasn’t just a means of transportation, but could Alsobe used as a bed for sleeping, killing two birds with one stone.

Once this was done, moving onto other things wouldn’t be too late.

They were all busy that day, fortunately, they had food and it wasn’t too hard to endure.

In the afternoon, when there was nothing pressing to do, Jiang Yuan went to observe the newly sprouted grass shoots.

Even though she wasn’t sure why, she always hoped to discover something useful.

"Sister Yuan, do you think the grass will freeze to death tomorrow?"

"It’s hard to say; the temperature can get very low at night."

"We’ll only be able to tell tomorrow."

With that, she got up, ready to make dinner.

"Sister Yuan, don’t go just yet, I have something I want to ask you."

"What’s up, Mianmian? Go ahead and ask."

She didn’t know what it was about, but she felt that Ye Mianmian was a bit anxious.

"Sister Yuan, it’s about Jingjing, are you really planning to raise her yourself?"

So that was the question!

"With the situation as it is, we can’t just send the child away, can we?"

If she truly didn’t care anymore, that child would be left with no choice but death.

If they hadn’t known, that would be one thing, but now that they had met, what else could they do?

Everyone came out together, her parents were all gone, she couldn’t just ignore that.

"Sigh, that’s true. Sister Yuan, don’t blame me for being nosy.

It’s just that the kid is not that young anymore and understands what’s happening.

She probably knows what happened to her parents; you have to be more cautious.

Especially with her and Xiao Nuan, never let them be alone. Don’t forget about Fan Yao and Fan Qing."

Jhiang Yuan’s eyes widened; she really hadn’t thought that much before.

It seemed like a straightforward matter, and after all, she knew the child.

But what Ye Mianmian said made her a little scared.

"I really hadn’t thought of that, don’t worry, Mianmian, I won’t joke about Xiao Nuan’s safety."

That child was her life’s treasure; if Jingjing was another Fan Yao, she certainly wouldn’t be indulgent.

"It’s not that I’m saying this child is bad, but it’s definitely beneficial for us to take precautions in advance."

"Yeah, I understand..."

This trust made Ye Mianmian feel good.

The two returned to the fire. It was almost four o’clock now.

They needed to start cooking now; if they ate too late,

they might attract something else. There were many animals in the forest.

Their ability to survive disasters was much stronger than humans’, and trouble could arise if they encountered any survivors.

They just couldn’t afford the slightest disturbance now.

Qin Yue brought over some dried noodles and vegetables to cook, both soup and food.

It took three pots to make barely enough for everyone.

"Right, shouldn’t we go out and look for food?

If we run out of what we have, won’t we be in trouble later on?"

Fan Qing was particularly aware of the potential hazards of their situation, they only had some food in Qin Yue’s backpack.

With so many people, that wouldn’t last more than a few days.

All those in the know looked towards Jhiang Yuan, as if waiting for her to make a decision.

It was quite awkward. Did it have to be so obvious?

Still, she pretended to be calm.

"Qingqing is right. In the next few days, we’ll have to figure out a way to find some food!

What’s left from before isn’t much, and I bet it won’t last several days.

Without a food supply, we’re going to have problems."

Her plan was simple; go out and get some stuff, and say she found it. There shouldn’t be any issues.

"Yeah, maybe we should go down to the village tomorrow to have a look.

Even though it’s been leveled, we might still find something to eat.

I remember, in the Northeast, they like to store food buried in the ground or in the snow.

We’ll go check it out; maybe we’ll get lucky and find something left behind."

"Yeah, Kaiyang is right. We’ll go take a look tomorrow—"
